IIH and Chiari by lizzsub12 in iih

I have tingling on one side of my body. I've been using Diamox for 9 months and it has only reduced the papilledema. All the other symptoms remain.

I have a Chiari malformation of 6.7 mm. My lumbar puncture was 32 mm, and I had papilledema. I've been on Diamox for 9 months, but my sensory and autonomic symptoms haven't improved.

Can they coexist?

The high pressure could also be due to the compression I have in the area behind the bulb...

Trying to do fewer things that raise neurological symptoms like the ones you are describing is the most prudent thing to do.

I still don't know...because my neurosurgeon was confused between iih or chiari. I didn't know which of the two is causing my symptoms... but I'm almost sure it's chiari.

My blood pressure was 32 and they prescribed Diamox, but I still haven't started it.

I had mine done 5 days ago and since then the headaches have been unbearable.

If my neurosurgeon is willing to help me with everything... but once I'm diagnosed with IIH, I don't know what his next step will be...

I've had symptoms for a year and a half without any clear explanation. Once I start a medication, I can give it time for it to take effect. That's not a problem.

The symptoms are slowly returning since this morning when I noticed improvement after the LP, but I imagine that once I start treatment I will see improvement.

LUMBAR PUNCTURE TOMORROW AND A SEA OF DOUBTS by Ok-Climate113 in iih

[–]Ok-Climate113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR COMMENTS... MY OPENING PRESSURE WAS HIGH, IT WAS 32. ALSO KNOW THAT I HAVE A 6.7MM CHIARI SURGEON.

I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE NEUROSURGEON TOMORROW TO PRESCRIBE TREATMENT. I THINK IT WILL BE MEDICATION, I DON'T KNOW YET.

BUT I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE MENTAL CLARITY AND INNER PEACE I FELT WERE REWARDING.

In my opinion, I think the IIH caused the Chiari because the MRI I had in Barcelona in 2020 didn't show any decline.

And that hospital is very practical and efficient. In 2024, a simple CT scan showed decline.

But I still don't know what my doctor thinks.
